Bonjour, I am not sure if it is the good place to ask my question ! Here is my problem. With autopilot on, at 8100 ft, the speed is supposed to be around 240 kts, but I cannot get past 170kts. I am certainly doing something wrong but I have no idea. I cannot change trim to gain speed, the A/P always set it to 1%. Thanks for your help. Claude

Hi Alex, Of course, you are right, that can be done that way by using "Measure Rhumb distance..." Merci Claude

Bonjour Alex, Do you think it could be possible in a future version to have an option which draw an extended center line for any runway. The runway could be choosen by clicking on the airport. Your product is fantastic ! Cheers Claude

Rob, OK, as someone, I can understand. I was not looking for specific very technical informations, but I always thought it was better to explain to customers when something is not working as he expects. May be I am wrong ! Now I can see that PMDG has no idea of what is going on, so it is difficult to give some informations. I can understand that too. To be frank, I thought the problem was mainly on the LM side, and could only be solved by the 2 companies. For having seen a lot of dead lock in interprocess, I can perfectly understand that it is not easy to solve. I do not understand why the FSIPanel developper says that you are looking for a solution. Cheers Claude

Bonjour Rob, I perfectly understand what you said, but other products like FSIPanel which reposition the A/C when practising approach are difficult to use now, since the last PMDG update. I read on the FSIPanel forum that you told the developper, you will investigate to find a solution. Sure it is certainly not an easy problem to resolve, LM always said to see with PMDG... But for me it is not so obvious. As I do not know where is really the problem, it is difficult to have an opinion. By the way if someone can explain what is going on in technical words, I am on it... just to understand. Cheers Claude

Bonjour, It is very annoying as a product like FSIPanel doesn't work anymore since the last release of PMDG planes. That doesn't means it is a PMDG problem, but only LM can investigate to find a solution with PMDG or Flight1. Cheers

Bonjour Alex, Thanks ! Yes, it seems there is nothing in MarbleNavigator which can help. So the best thing to do is to hide it. Merci Claude

Bonsoir Alex, Thanks for your answer. In the same line, do you think it is possible to avoid the detection of the mouse cursor when it passes over the zoom bar system on the right side of the map. In fact while moving the map by draging with the left mouse button, when the cursor passes over the zoom vertical bar, then the zoom level change brutally. It could be confusing ! I hope I am clear... Not sure ! Merci Claude

Bonjour albar965, I found something strange with the behavior of increase (decrease) details in the map. of your great little Navmap. This only happens when using the keyboard. Once we are at the max (5) or min (-5) details, then the menu are disabled, but we can continue to use the equivalent keyboard CTRL + CTRL -, and then the zomm + or - takes place. After that, it is sometimes difficult to come back to the normal level. Any idea ? Cheers Claude EDIT: May be an interference with the standard keyboard zoom function. When the menu is disabled then Little Navmap passes the control to windows ?

Bonjour, I get this answer from Ricardo Dutra (Virtual Avionics) where he says that VAInterface only works in W10 not in W7, he also gives some clue concerning their 32 bits DLL. Cheers Claude

Yes I tried everything without success, I still have an error in the log file. I have open a ticket. Cheers Claude

Bonjour, After deleting everything concerning the VAInterface.dll, the procedure is not working for me with P3DV4 737NGX. A soon as P3D starts VAInterface quit with an error in the log file provided by FSCommMgr saying unable to get file name In the ini file there is an entry [P3DV4] DLLXML=YES created during the install process. It aslo create an entry in the DLL.XML and a VAInterface.dll is copied in the module folder. But this DLL is a 32 bit one. So I am lost ! Cheers and thanks Rob for your support in the forum. Claude

So I checked this dll it is a 32 bits one, and I cannot understand how it could work in P3DV4 64 bits ! Cheers

Merci John, Mine is the same version. I saw in the simconnect log that there is an error (-1) when loading this dll in P3DV4. That could explain why it doesn't work with this dll which is an old one. If it is a 32 bits dll that may be the problem. That's why I want to know which version is working. Cheers Claude

Bonjour, Could anybody which has the VAInterface working with the 737NGX in P3DV4, give me the version number of his(her) VAInterface.dll. Merci beaucoup Cheers Claude

Bonsoir, Some explanation, I get from Beau Hollis (P3D) on their forum. http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=120133&p=139737&hilit=fiber+frame#p139737 Cheers Claude

Bonsoir Keith, That's exactly the problem I have ! as soon as P3DV4 start VAInterface quit. Can you check if you have the following line in the log FSCommMgr - Unable to get file name 299 Merci Claude

Bonjour, Does this version work with the 737NGX for P3D V4 ? Everything seems OK until I launch P3DV4. The log says. 02/08/17 17:05:06 ( 31) - FSCommMgr - Unable to get file name 299 02/08/17 17:05:06 ( 31) - vainterface - Shutting Down!!! 02/08/17 17:05:06 ( 31) - SocketMgr - Accept failed: 10004 02/08/17 17:05:06 ( 31) - BroadcastListener - recvfrom failed with error 10004 02/08/17 17:05:06 ( 31) - BroadcastListener - Finished receiving.

Bonjour, I am also interested to know the answer ! Cheers Claude Troncy

Bonjour, About the ini files such as colors, options and shortcuts , are they kept during the upgrade process to P3DV4 or do we have to reenter all the infos. Thanks Cheers Claude Troncy

Thanks Stephen for this clarification. Claude

Hello Stephen, But FSUIPC 4 will not work with P3D V4, and concerning FSUIPC 5 (64 bit version) Pete said "To start with I'd probably discard all the weather fiddling stuff in the options, which are largely redundant these days with programs like Active Sky, Opus, and so on doing all these things much better." So does it mean that OPUS 5 will only works with P3D V4 once the flawed ambient wind calcs is corrected by LM. Cheers Claude

Hi Alex, It is working now. Thank you very much for your quick answer. What was the benefit of using maptiles.xyz as it seems to only be a cache of OSM ? Cheers Claude

Bonjour, I would like to know if there is a problem with the connection to OpenStreetMap servers as I always have the "Waitting for data" displayed. May be they have changed something in the way to get data as I have this problem since several days. Thank You Best regards Claude

Bonjour, I have the same problem. I already asked by email the developper for this anomaly. But for now, I did not get any solution. In fact when we reload a scenario in P3D or a flight in fsx, the connection between the cdu on the tablet and the simulator is lost. The only way to recover the connection is to make a reset. As fsipanel load a scenario to position the plane, on approach for example, then we cannot use the external CDU. Unfortunately a reset will lost all the airplane configuration made by FSIPANEL. Cheers Claude
